Maybe this book from Waqf Ikhlas Publications made them misunderstand their religion. "Turkey arrests five for al Qaeda links: report," from Reuters:
ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey has detained five people for links with al Qaeda after police operations in four cities including the capital Ankara, Turkish TV reported on Sunday.
The arrests follow the detention at the weekend of 19 people for suspected links to the Islamist militant group, which had claimed responsibility for suicide bomb attacks against the British Consulate, two synagogues and an HSBC bank in Istanbul killing more than 60 people in November 2003.
The court ordered five of the suspects to be held for possible trial.
Turkish media said one of the suspects was a Turk who taught English language in the country's central city of Aksaray.
Authorities have stepped up security in main cities ahead of the New Year Holiday, fearing bombings. Istanbul municipality cancelled a traditional New Year's Night party in the city's main square.

This is nothing. Erdogan or is it Ergodan? will be happy to sign into legislation the implementation of sharia. It's only a matter of time. Turkey is becoming another Pakistan. Give it a few years and women will be punished by squads of virtue and vice with gang rape, stoning, beating or whatever type of brutality they choose to use. I can only pray that the muslim women of the world wake up and realize their true God given worth and it's not half that of a man either. It is equal in the eyes of God. These guys they arrested are tokens to appease the rest of the world into believing that the turkish government is still a secular government. Watch the dominoes fall!

By all means, let's let them in the E.U.
Then again, sometimes it seems they have less of a muslim problem than France has. /sarc
